Fashion, Crossroads, Theory, MethodAbstract
The article proposes a theoretical and methodological essay to undertake the decolonial turn on fashion research. Coming from a multidisciplinary approach, the essay explores two concepts: a social back stitch in fashion and tear up in fashion to demonstrate the first steps that the practice of the cross method requires in the context of fashion research. The crossroads, as a concept, is used in its political and epistemological function, guiding the theoretical-methodological proposal to the transgression of western canons and colonies that still operate in fashion studies. The crossroads is associated with the metaphor of the drawing and the sewing machine bobbin, which broadens the thinking of fashion gears and, therefore, operates the decolonial turn.
